This platform allows teachers to be fully in control of their hours and schedule. They offer a 100% online experience, so you can enjoy the perks of remote work while making money.
Students on the English everywhere platform come from a variety of backgrounds. Some want business English lessons and others want casual conversation practice. It is up to the teacher to create lesson plans that suit the needs of each particular student.

One perk of English everywhere is that teachers can set their own schedules and have schedule flexibility. When you fill out the application form, you’ll be able to say which days and times you’re free for bookings.
If a certain day or time doesn’t work for you, you can leave it blank and students won’t be able to book you.

2. Cena English
With Cena English (Cena Academy), native speakers from the USA can teach private English lessons online to Japanese students.
Cena English is unique because the company acts more as a matchmaker. They help English teachers find students, but after that, most logistics are handled by the student and teacher independently.
Teachers and students choose a time for lessons and students pay their teachers directly after the lesson has been taught.
It seems like teachers are responsible for providing their own materials since there is no mention of provided lesson plans on the website.
For this reason, Cena English is probably a good choice for a more independent teacher who wants lots of flexibility.
Teacher Requirements
In order to teach English online to Japanese students with Cena English, you must be meet the following requirements:
Be a native English speaker from the United States.
Teachers must have a Bachelor’s degree or higher.
You must have a TEFL certification.
Experience teaching is preferred but not required. teachers must be comfortable holding classes over Skype and will use the software “Audacity” to record their lessons to provide playback for students.
Teachers also need to have more than 1.5 Mbps upload and download speed on their device for smooth teaching.
ödeme bilgileri
There are three types of lessons on Cena English: trial lessons, regular lessons, and interviews.
Trial lessons are 25 minutes long and the pay is $11 USD
Regular lessons are 50 minutes long and the pay is $22 USD
Interviews are scheduled by existing Cena English students who want a new teacher and these are not paid.
Cena English is unique in how they handle payments. From what I can tell, the students are responsible for paying their teachers directly through Paypal.
The upside of this is that teachers get their full lesson fee delivered to them quickly without having to wait for the company to process payment.
The downside is that it is unclear how payment disputes or delays are handled since it’s done between the student and the teacher directly.
According to their website, Paypal is the only way to receive payment at this time.
Saat
Teachers must be able to offer classes at times that work for their students in Japan. This means that you should have some availability during the Japanese daytime and evening time slots
Because students and their teachers arrange classes on a one-on-one basis, it seems like you could plan classes whenever it worked for you and your student.
How To sign Up
To sign up, check out the Cena English website. It will default to Japanese, but if you select the “home” Cena button in the top menu, you’ll find a drop-down menu to change the language.

Once you’re familiar with their requirements, you’ll send all the requested information to the email address listed on the registration page. someone will follow up with you about your application as soon as possible.
